Definitions
- the present invention relates to a recording medium.
- Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-291483 discloses, as an example, a recording medium in which an ink-receiving layer (lower layer) containing a fumed silica having an average primary particle size of 7 nm and an ink-receiving layer (upper layer) containing a wet silica having an average primary particle size of 3 ⁇ m are disposed on a resin-coated substrate. Furthermore, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2006-062228 discloses, as an example, a recording medium including an ink-receiving layer containing a silica having an average particle size of 7.5 ⁇ m.
- a recording medium includes a substrate, a first ink-receiving layer, and a second ink-receiving layer adjacent to the first ink-receiving layer in this order, wherein the first ink-receiving layer contains an inorganic particle having an average particle size of 50 nm or less, a content of the inorganic particle having an average particle size of 50 nm or less in the first ink-receiving layer is 90 mass % or more based on the total content of all inorganic particles, and the second ink-receiving layer includes an amorphous silica having an average particle size of 3.2 ⁇ m or more.
- the present invention is directed to providing a recording medium which has a matte appearance and a high degree of color development of an image formed not only when a pigment ink is used, but also when a dye ink is used.
- the color development of an image formed when a dye ink is used is considerably affected by the transparency of the ink-receiving layer.
- the color development of an image is not considerably affected by the transparency of the ink-receiving layer.
- the color development of an image formed when a pigment ink is used is affected by the pore size of the ink-receiving layer.
- the present inventors have studied a structure required to improve the color development for both dye inks and pigment inks having totally different factors that affect the color development of an image formed and also to achieve a good matte appearance of the recording medium. As a result, a structure according to an embodiment of the present invention has been completed.
- a recording medium including a substrate, a first ink-receiving layer which contains inorganic particles having an average particle size of 50 nm or less such that the content of the inorganic particles is 90 mass % or more based on the total content of all inorganic particles, and a second ink-receiving layer which contains an amorphous silica having an average particle size of 3.2 ⁇ m or more and is disposed so as to be adjacent to the first ink-receiving layer, in this order.
- the transparency of an ink-receiving layer decreases as the particle size of particles in the ink-receiving layer increases.
- the transparency of an ink-receiving layer that has once decreased can be increased by using an amorphous silica having an average particle size of 3.2 ⁇ m or more. This may be because the density of amorphous silica particles in the ink-receiving layer decreases as the particle size increases, which decreases the number of interfaces between the amorphous silica particles and the air and thus reduces the light scattering in the ink-receiving layer.
